Hi, I use a mboost model to predict my dependent variable on new data. I get the following warning message: In bs(mf[[i]], knots = args$knots[[i]]$knots, degree = args$degree, : some 'x' values beyond boundary knots may cause ill-conditioned bases The new predicted values are partly negative although the variable in the training data ranges from 3 to 8 on a numeric scale. In order to

Some time ago I came across the function object.size() to estimate the size of an R object. I don't know if the behavior of the function is intended to be quite "user unfriendly" as it is right now or if just nobody was thinking/caring about it. I have two suggestions to improve it: - Why is it named object.size() and not just size()? The latter would be far more intuitive and

Hi, the following example aiming at a class containing a logical slot segfaults under R-1.9.0 when `gctorture(on = TRUE)' is used: Code code (dummy.c): #include <Rdefines.h> SEXP foo() { SEXP ans; PROTECT(ans = NEW_OBJECT(MAKE_CLASS("test"))); SET_SLOT(ans, install("lgl"), allocVector(LGLSXP, 1)); LOGICAL(GET_SLOT(ans,

Good morning, we recently observed a problem with importing S3 generics from a foreign package (without namespace), defining a S3 method in a package _with_ namespace and the `cleanEx()' function which is automatically generated and executed before examples are run by R CMD check. To be more precise. Package `strucchange' defines a S3 generic sctest <- function(x, ...)

I suppose that multcomp in R and multicomp in S-Plus are related and it appears that it is possible to use multicomp with lme in S-Plus given the following correspondence on s-news sally.rodriguez at philips.com 12:57 p.m. 24/04/03 -0400 7 [S] LME summary and multicomp.default() Is it possible to use multicomp with lme in R and if so what is the syntax from a simple readily available

I don't use SPSS but following through on your detective work can provide the likely answer. First note that both date numbers are evenly divisible by the number of seconds in a day, i.e. 24*60*60. This suggests that these numbers are seconds since some origin. Since we know "2003/02/11" corresponds to 13264300800 we deduce that the origin must be spss.orig <-

Hi, yesterday I installed the current R-devel and now I get the following warning message for program codes which made no problems under version R-1.2.3: Example: R> read.table("test.dat") Warning message: incomplete final line in: readLines(con, n, ok) where `test.dat' looks like peters at artemis:~ > cat test.dat 1 2 3peters at artemis:~ > i.e. without a newline

Dear useRs, we are happy to announce the release of mboost 2.0-0 on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/package=mboost This version contains major updates and changes to the implementation of the main algorithm.

Dear All, I would like to run a generalized linear mixed model with the software R (one categorical predictor, one random factor, the distribution of the dependent variable is binomial, and the link is logit). Thereafter, I would like to perform multiple comparisons (post hoc test) among the groups of the categorical predictor. Is it possible with the software R? Are traditional methods of

Sorry for the tardy reply but I just found your posting incidentally today. To make long things short: You are right about the centering. We forgot to correct the intercept if center = TRUE. We lately found the problem ourself and fixed it in the current version (mboost 2.0-3). However the problem only occurred if you extracted the coefficients. As the intercept is rarely interpretable we

Hi is it possible to specify the shape of the point to be used in ggplot (as with pch in plot)? I couldn't find anything in the help. Thanks Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys.

Hi, I am currently preparing a new version of my package papeR. When I run R CMD check using the development version of R I get the following note: Package in Depends field not imported from: ?nlme?, ?lme4?, ?survival? These packages needs to imported from for the case when this namespace is loaded but not attached. I now have problems to fix this issue. It is easy to get rid of two of the

Dear all, I have just detected what seems a minor inconsistence with data types. If one unlists a POSIXlt time with GMT zone gets a numeric vector, since the POSIXlt list has no `zone` element, while if one unlists a POSIXlt time with a non GMT zone (also non specifying tz if the Sys.timezone is not GMT) gets a character vector due to including the `zone` element. > x <-

Hello everybody, i have already posted this message yesterday, but i didn't receive my posting. There i want to repeat it. >From time to time our nmbd daemon quits his job and the last time he did this he told us: [2006/01/25 15:56:02, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:terminate(58) Got SIGTERM: going down... So my question is: What is the cause of this behaviour and in special what is happening when

Hi I heard so much about Emacs and ESS that I decided to try it out - but I am stuck at the beginning. Is there anywhere a beginners manual for Emacs & ESS to be used with R? even M-x S tells me it can't start S-Plus - obviously - but I want it to start R... Any help welcome (otherwise I will be stuck with Eclipse and R) Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys. (Germany), MSc

System: Linux 2.4.18, openssh-3.4p1 Problem: I use "ssh" and "tar" to backup remote directory trees to a local hard-disk/file-system: # ssh remote.server.org "tar -cz /home" >/backup/remote.tar.gz If the backup-file-system runs out of space before the backup completes, ssh starts hanging (waiting for the stdout-write to complete).

I am looking for a way to generate .Rout.save files for vignettes. The manual "Writing R Extensions" states here [1] in item number 20: "If there is a target output file .Rout.save in the vignette source directory, the output from running the code in that vignette is compared with the target output file." Yet, there is no pointer on how to get the correct .Rout.save files

I have about 10 linux/unix machines running samba, one of which should be a central samba server. Additionally, I have about 30 Windows machines. My problem is that I want the share(s) of the other linux/unix machines to be mounted on the samba server, so that they only can be access via this server. But if I run samba on the other linux/unix machines, I can also access their shares directly,
